Dynamic Output Feedback Robust MPC with Input Saturation Based on Zonotopic Set-Membership Estimation

摘要

For quasi-linear parameter varying (quasi-LPV) systems with bounded disturbance, a synthesis approach of dynamic output feedback robust model predictive control (OFRMPC) with the consideration of input saturation is investigated. The saturated dynamic output feedback controller is represented by a convex hull involving the actual dynamic output controller and an introduced auxiliary controller. By taking both the actual output feedback controller and the auxiliary controller with a parameter-dependent form, the main optimization problem can be formulated as convex optimization. The consideration of input saturation in the main optimization problem reduces the conservatism of dynamic output feedback controller design. The estimation error set and bounded disturbance are represented by zonotopes and refreshed by zonotopic set-membership estimation. Compared with the previous results, the proposed algorithm can not only guarantee the recursive feasibility of the optimization problem, but also improve the control performance at the cost of higher computational burden. A nonlinear continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach.
